Restored 1967 early style larger rectangular rear view mirror lens for the Mercury Cougar or Ford Mustang. These rear view mirror lenses are sold on an exchange basis.
Due to time constraints, we can no longer offer the service of having your own mirror restored, this is now an exchange based service only.
Any mention of it in the video below is outdated, please disregard.
We STRONGLY suggest you watch our "how to" video prior to attempting to remove your lens and send it in. Keep in mind glass is porous and is prone to staining. Often times these faint stains do not show up until the glass has been re-silvered. About 1 in 8 mirrors seem to have some amount of staining visible after the mirror has been re-silvered. Please send in your used mirrored glass lens only, no rear view mirror assemblies please. During re-assembly, you don't really need to use glue because the mirror housing will hold the lens in place by itself. If anything, use a specialty mirror glue, because some glues (like silicone) can have a chemical reaction with the silver and cause discolored spots on your mirror in time. Check out our video (below) on how to replace your mirror lens. If your mirror lens is broken we do have some restored lenses we can sell you that have obvious chips or stains and we will sell those with no exchange or core charge for $30-$60 depending on the severity of the blemish.
*NOTE* This unit measures approximately 2-3/8 inches by 9-3/4 inches.
“-When mirrors are exposed to excess moisture, water can get between the layer of silver and the backing. This causes the bond to break and the silvering to chip off behind the glass. This leaves your mirror with unsightly dark spots or black edges where the silver has fallen away. ”
